Honestly just trade the guy on June 2nd and be done with it. There are still a boatload of teams willing to give up a stupid haul for a 37 year old, may as well take advantage of it while you can. The day when someone else is under center is inevitable anyway. Might as well get something for him on his way out rather than just be stuck with an obvious malcontent.
-
Saying that a .678 OPS stretch is an unfriendly stretch for All-Star credentials and saying that he has had a really really really terrible May are two different things, though. I think people are taking more exception with the latter statement, not the former.
-
Great win, but oof this pen needs some reinforcing.
-
How obnoxious is it to go 7 scoreless innings and watch your teammates struggle to even keep 5 off the board for the next 2 innings?
-
If they're contending, they desperately need some bullpen help at the deadline. Probably at least two.
-
Perdomo will get em next time. It'll be in Nashville, though.
-
This pen blows chunks outside of the main two.
-
I really don't love going with a guy who can't throw strikes for the 9th in a 5-0 game. Hopefully he has his control today.
-
How does Woodruff go 7 scoreless innings seemingly every outing? Seems like that should be really hard to do.
-
25 according to this link https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/which-team-has-the-most-threes-in-a-playoff-game Long ways to go at 15. I think we'll probably ease up and finish with 18-20.

Miguel Diaz used to be a prospect in our system didn't he? Lost him in the Rule 5 draft I believe?
-
Based on what? He's hitting .240 over 30 ABs in May...He had a rough road trip and definitely isn't tearing the cover off the ball but if that's your definition of cratering then just wait till you see a couple of the other guys on the roster. If you are going to just use one stat, check out OPS...he is at .678. That’s really bad. If that's a cratering stretch you are having a pretty good season. The average OPS this year is. 708. I don't know what the average catcher OPS is but probably somewhere in that ballpark.

Huge hit by Wong. Way to not let Snell off the hook. Great work.
-
I assume Woodruff and Hader have to be close to locks right now. Burnes and Peralta certainly have cases, but I don't know how many pitchers they would take from us. Can't think of any position players that would really be in the running at all. Maybe Narvaez, but I'm not sure how the catching race looks. Yadi is probably a lock on reputation alone.

Prospective trade deadline targets?
adambr2 replied to adambr2's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I think fans drastically overestimate the likelihood of Small or Ashby developing into high end MLB starters. We've been a little spoiled by Woodruff, Burnes and Peralta. If Ashby turned out to be a Josh Hader lite, I'd be thrilled. -
I mean if it's really all smoke and no fire he's had like a month to clear it up. There's a reason he isn't.
-
Andy Haines should be a little troubled if he comes up and mashes immediately. Anyway, we'll see what happens. He's still going to strikeout a ton no matter what happens.

Prospective trade deadline targets?
adambr2 replied to adambr2's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Based up your subjective take that Feyereisen and Rasmussen are merely “decent”. The Rays obviously think more of JP as he stepped right into a late inning role and nailed down a save when their regular closer was down due to usage. I can get behind Rasmussen as “decent” now, but then again, he’s the pitching prospect in this deal. I think everyone can agree if he keeps his arm healthy he has potential to be more than decent. So if that’s the “cost” for Adames, a major league late inning reliever and a major league ready power arm pitching prospect, both pre-arbitration eligible, what would the real “cost” of Candelario be? I’m sure he’s available but at the cost of maybe Devin Williams or multiple minor league pitching prospects, it’s probably not worth it. "Decent but not elite" seems like a pretty fair description of JP and Rasmussen given the cumulative weighing of their abilities and track records, and I like both. I'm not sure how one would non-subjectively use that description, so yes, it is in my subjective opinion. To add to that, Adames is worth more than Candelario. He's younger, he's got a better overall MLB track record and he plays a more premium defensive position. Detroit likely isn't targeting MLB ready talent, although I'm sure they'd be interested in Devin, but that shouldn't even be considered if they ask. Whether or not Candelario should be acquired would depend to me on which specific player or prospects the Tigers would be seeking in return. -
I think I'd be happy with a split in this series.

If the cost on Adames was a pair of decent but not elite relief pitchers, I don't see why Candelario should be prohibitively expensive. -

I think Candelario was discussed early in this thread too. I would for sure be in favor. -
Random rant: The 5 inning minimum requirement for a starter to win is stupid. While a reliever can "win" on one batter. You recorded more than half of the outs, should that not be enough? The whole pitcher W/L statistic seems outdated for modern baseball anyway.
-
If no umpire is ever going to force a batter to try to get our of the way of a ball, just take the rule out of the rulebook already.

I refuse to believe that Brad Boxberger over Freddy Peralta is ever the right call. I wish they had let him have one more guy. Hope it works out.
